Mu'mineen Ali Abi Taleb knew it to be his duty to wage war against Aisha, Talha
..... Abu Ya'lee al Mawaslie al Tameemee, Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Al Mathanie (died ...
Did The Messenger of God (S) Predict the Wars of Jamal, Safeen, and Nahrawan? Response: The Messenger of God (S) with the knowledge that was bestowed upon him by God Almighty gave the news about these wars and predicted the occurrences surrounding them. He often times gave Amiral Mu’mineen Ali (A.S.) the order to fight against Aisha, Talha, Zobayr, and Moaawiya. He also at times gave orders to his companions telling them that they had a duty to fight against the nakatheen, the unjust, and the apostates. He at times too, when in the company of his wives would speak to them of the occurrences concerning the battles of Jamal, Safeen and Nahrwan. He warned them to avoid getting involved in these seditious occurrences. This tradition is a clear and absolute proof of Amiral Mu’mineen Ali (A.S.) righteousness and the falsehood of other claimants.
The War of Amiral Mu’mineen Ali (A.S.) Against the Nakatheen, Ghasateen, and the Maragheen was by the order of the Messenger of God (S): According to traditions that are entered from the Ahl Sunnat sources Amiral Mu’mineen Ali Abi Taleb knew it to be his duty to wage war against Aisha, Talha, Zobayr, and Moaawiya; moreover, this duty was placed upon his eminence (A.S.) shoulders by the Prophet of God (S). It was even to the extent that Amiral Mu’mineen Ali (A.S.) felt that not fighting against these individual was considered unbelief. There are many traditions with correct chains of transmission concerning this subject in the books of the Ahl Sunnat related by Amiral Mu’mineen Ali’s (A.S.), Abu Ayub Ansari, Amar ibn Yasir, Abdullah ibn Ma’soud, Khazimeh ibn Thabit Ansari, and Abu Sa’eed Khudree; which some of these traditions we will only point out here in a brief way.
Most of these traditions according to opinion also have no problem with their chain of transmissions; as with the case where Ibn Abdul bar Ghortabee writes concerning this matter the following: .ولهذه األخبار طرق صحاح قد ذكرناها فِى موضعها أَن َّ ُه أمر بقتال:ي َ ومن حديث أَبِى أَيُّوب األ َ ْن،س ُعود ْ ومن حديث ا ْبن َم،وروى من حديث على ّ ِصار . والمارقين، والقاسطين،الناكثين ه ُدوا فِى ِ جا َ « َو: وهللا أعلم قوله تعالى: يَ ْعنِي، َما وجدت إال القتال أو الكفر بما أنزل هللا:ل َ أَن َّ ُه َقا،وروى َع ْن ُه .»ج َها ِد ِه ِ ق ِ َّ الل َّ ح َ ه
“Furthermore, for these traditions which their line and the chains of their transmissions are correct were taken by us from their original sources; meaning traditions from Ali (A.S.), Ibn Ma’soud, and Abu Ayub al Ansari wherein they relate that his eminence was delegated to fight against the Nakatheen, the Ghasateen, and the Maragheen. The following is narrated from his eminence (A.S.), ‘between me and war with them and blasphemy in connection to them God did reveal that I was at liberty.’ The meaning implicated by his eminence (A.S.) was this Qur’an verse, “Fight in the way God in the most appropriate manner.” ،4 ج، االستيعاب في معرفة األصحاب،)هـ364 يوسف بن عبد هللا بن محمد بن عبد البر النمري (متوفاي،إبن عبد البر .هـ1311 ، األولى: الطبعة، بيروت- دار الجيل: ناشر، تحقيق علي محمد البجاوي،1111 ص Ibn Abdilbar, Yusuf ibn Abdillah ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al Bar al Namary (died 436H), Al Asteeab fe Ma’rafat al Ahsab, Vol. 3, page 1117, research Ali Muhammad al Bajawie, Publisher: Darol al Jill- Beirut, al taba’at, 1412H
The First Group: Traditions that are personally related from Amiral Mu’mineen (A.S.): This tradition is related with numerous chains of transmission in tens of books from among the collection of Ahl Sunnat books; we will here narrate a few of these brief traditions.

“It is narrated from Alqameh and Aswad at the time when Abu Ayub came back from Saffeen I hurried to go and see him. I said to him,‘ O’ Abu Ayub! God the Most High holds you so dear that Prophet Muhammad (S) stepped into your house and his camel lay down on the ground beside your home; furthermore, all of this was because of your special position while others remained deprived of the benefit of this status. So what has happen now that makes you place your sword upon your shoulder and fight with those who say “There is no God but God”? (This was not expected from you.)’ Abu Ayub retorted to this sarcasm with the following proverb: ‘The guide of the caravan does not lie to his passengers. In the same way the honored Prophet (S) gave orders to us to fight with three groups who battled against Ali (A.S.) “the Nakatheen”, “the Ghasateen”, and “the Maragon”. We fought against those who spread the flames of war the Nakatheen the followers of Talah and Zoybar. Also we fought against the Ghasateen the followers of Muawiyah and Amro A; moreover, we are now returning from the campaign against them and with the Maragon who cross our path and they lay in wait for us in the plantations and by the river sides we will fight against them too.’” دار الكتب العلمية: ناشر،186 ص،14 ج، تاريخ بغداد،)هـ364 ابوبكر أحمد بن علي بن ثابت الخطيب (متوفاى،البغدادي – بيروت؛ تاريخ مدينة،)هـ111 أبي القاسم علي بن الحسن إبن هبة هللا بن عبد هللا (متوفاى،ابن عساكر الدمشقي الشافعي : ناشر، محب الدين أبي سعيد عمر بن غرامة العمري: تحقيق، 311 ص،31 ج،دمشق وذكر فضلها وتسمية من حلها من األماثل ؛1991 – بيروت- دار الفكر سهيل. د: تحقيق،191 ص،1 ج، بغية الطلب في تاريخ حلب،)هـ664كمال الدين عمر بن أحمد بن أبي جرادة (متوفاى دار الفكر ـ بيروت؛: ناشر،زكار – مكتبة المعارف: ناشر،441 ص،1 ج، البداية والنهاية،)هـ113 ابوالفداء إسماعيل بن عمر القرشي (متوفاى،ابن كثير الدمشقي بيروت Al Baghdadi, Abu Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Thabit al Khateeb (died 463H), Tarikh Baghdad, Vol. 13 page 186, Publisher: Darol Ketab al Olumeeyah – Beirut; Ibn Asakar al Dameshqi al Shafa’I, Abi al Qasem Ali ibn al Hasan ibn Haybatullah ibn Abdullah (died 571H), Tarikh Madina Dameshq wazkor Fazlha watasmee’ia min Halha min al Mathal, Vol. 42, page 472, research: Mahabaldeen Abi Sa’eed Omar ibn Garameh al Omari,

The following is narrated from Al Rahman ibn Abi Laili, “When I was in Safeen I saw a man riding his horse and his face was covered with his shawl, but his beard was hang out from under his shawl. He displayed an intense passion as he battled. He attacked his enemies from the right and left; I then said to him, O Sheikh! You attack your enemies from the right and left? He then threw his shawl aside and said, ‘I heard from the Messenger of God (S) say, ‘Accompany Ali (A.S.) in the battle and fight.’ ‘I am Khazimat ibn Thabit Ansari.’” Then Khateeb Baghdadi goes on to say, .م س َوى ِذى ِ ت ِ م أَبِي ِ َحاب ِ خ َ ل ا ْل َ خ َز ْي َ ص َ َولَ ْي:يب َ َقا ٌ ِه ثَاب ْ م ُة َو ْ ن َّ ُ م ُه َّ س فِى ال ُ َ َوالل َّ ُه أَ ْعل،ن ُ اس ُ اس ُ ط ِ الش َها َدتَ ْي ِ ة َم

In conclusion these traditions with their credible chains of transmission which can even be claimed as successive have been verified by several methods. Nevertheless these traditions prove that this war was ordered by the Messenger of God on behalf of Amiral Mo’mineen (A.S.) and his friends. Therefore, the circumstance of someone who is considered as the Messenger of God’s (S) companion and given orders to fight against these individuals has become perfectly clear here.
According to Anesheh one should avoid warring with Amiral Mo’mineen (A.S.): A tradition has been found with a correct chain of transmission from the sources of the Ahl Sunnat which state that the Messenger of God (S) was sitting with his wives when he predicted the “Battle of Jamal”. He told them to avoid being present in the battle of Jamal. He specifically spoke to Aeshia saying,“O Hamiyar!, I hope under no circumstances you are that individual.” However, in this circumstances Aisha ignored the Messenger of God’s council and therefore was not grant its value. Her eminence in contradiction to those orders fought against the lawful Caliph of the Messenger of God (S). Ahmad ibn Hanabal writes in his authentic documents, ِحت ِ ما ْ ش ُة بَلَغ ْ َما أَ ْقبَل َ ََت ِميَا َه بنى َعا ِمرٍ ل َ ْيال ًّ نَب َ ِت َعائ َ عي َ س ْ ِثنا يحيى عن إ َّ َ س قال ل ٌ ل ثنا َق ْي ين ِ ح ْوأَبِ قالت ما أظننى اال أنى َرا ٌ ج َع َ ل تَ ْق َد ِم َ َب قالت أى َما ٍء هذا قالوا َما ُء ا ْل ْ َض من كان َم َع َها ب ُ ة فقال َب ْع ُ ا ْلكِال ف ِ َّ ل الل ِ َفيَ َرا َ َات يَ ْو ٍم َك ْي َ ه صلى هللا عليه وسلم قال لها ذ َ سو ْ ح هللا عز وجل بَ ْينِ ِه ْ مونَ َف ُي ْ م ُ ِصل ُ م قالت ان َر ُ ِسل ُ ك ا ْل .ب ِ َح ْوأ َ َب ا ْل ُ بأحداكن تَ ْن َب ُ ح عليها ِكال
“At the time when Aisha reached the wells of Bani Amer the dogs of Haw’eb were barking, Aisha then replied, ‘What kind of well is this?’ They said, ‘The well of Haw’eb.’ She said, ‘We have no choice except to abandon this journey.’ Some of those individuals who had come along with her said, ‘You must come along with
us and establish a peace between us and the other Muslims.’ She then said, ‘One day the Messenger of God told me, ‘Which one of you will the dogs of Haw’eb bark at?’” مؤسسة: ناشر،13199 ح،11 ص،6 ج، مسند أحمد بن حنبل،)هـ131 ابوعبد هللا أحمد بن حنبل (متوفاى،الشيباني .قرطبة – مصر Al Asheebany, Abu Abdullah Ahmad ibn Hanabal (died 241H), Mosnad Ahmad ibn Hanabal, Vol. 6, page 52, 24299ح, Publisher: Mosaseh Ghortabeh – Mesr.

Of course the same tradition is also narrated with its creditable documentation through Ibn Abbas; likewise Ibn Hajjar Asgalanie wrote in the description of Saheeh Bukhari,

“It is narrated from Umm Salameh that the Messenger of God (S) gave a part of the news of a rebellion to his wives, Aisha laughed at this news.

Then Behaqqi in another one of his books gives this conclusion to the same tradition, فى سبع مائة من قريش، رضى هللا عنهم، لما سارت عائشة ومعها طلحة والزبير: وقال الزهرى ، ال حاجة لى فى مسيرى هذا، ردونى: ل منزل فتسأل عنه حتى نبحتها كالب الحوأب فقالت ّ كانت تنزل ك كيف أنت يا حميراء لو قد نبحت عليك كالب: نهانى فقال، صلى هللا عليه وسلم،فقد كان رسول هللا ليس هذا بذلك: الحوأب أو أهل الحوأب فى مسيرك تطلبين أمراًّ أنت عنه بمعزل ؟ فقال عبد هللا بن الزبير ًّ ودار على تلك المياه حتى جمع خمسين شيخا، صلى هللا عليه وسلم،المكان الذى ذكره رسول هللا ، فلما شهدوا قبلت وسارت حتى وافت البصرة،قسام ًّة فشهدوا أنه ليس بالماء الذى تزعمه أنه نهيت عنه فقالت،صيّر لها فى هودجها ُ فلما كان حرب الجمل أقبلت فى هودج من حديد وهى تنظر من منظر قد ها: رضى هللا عنه ؟ قال، أين ترى على بن أبى طالب: لرجل من ضبّة وهو آخذ بخطام جملها أو بعيرها

“Zahree says, at that time Aisha, Taleh, and Zoyber left along with seven hundred of the Qoresh; any time Aisha reached a house she would ask the occupants name, until it happened that the dogs of Hoe’ab started barking at her. She then said, ‘Take me out of here; it is not necessary for me to continue this journey. The Messenger of God was right when he dissuaded me and told me, ‘how will you be O’ Hamira’eh at the time when the dogs of Hoe’ab bark at you and the people of Hoe’ab are following you on your journey and they want something from you which is not your right? (If, such a thing happens under no circumstances should you continue your journey.) Abul Ibn Zoyber then said, ‘Isn’t this that same place which the Messenger of God (S) spoke about.’ Abdullah then scouted the area until he found fifty men and made them bear witness and swear that this water was not the water that he imagined to be forbidden. When they had borne witness concerning the water, he accepted their confirmation and continued on his journey until he reached Basra. When the Battle of Jamal began, a camel litter that was made of steel entered the arena. She (Aisha) observed the battle from a hole that had been made in the steel of the camel litter; she said to the man who had hold of the camel’s rein, ‘do you see Ali anywhere?’ That person then said, ‘he is the same person standing with his hands raised toward the sky.’ She looked and then replied, ‘Wow, he looks so much like his brother!!’ The Zebby man said, ‘Whose brother is he?’ Aisha said, ‘The Messenger of God (S).’ That man then replied, ‘I won’t fight someone who is the brother of the Messenger of God;’ he then relinquished the reins of Aisha’s mount and joined Ali Ibn Abi Taleb’s army.” دار: ناشر، عدنان علي: تحقيق،34 ص،1 ج، المحاسن والمساوئ،)هـ414 إبراهيم بن محمد (متوفاى بعد،البيهقي م1999 - هـ1314 ، األولى: الطبعة، لبنان/ بيروت- الكتب العلمية

There is a strange point concerning this tradition, the iron camel litter of Aisha draws special attention, because if Aisha really did not have any intention on fighting then why did she ride in an iron camel litter and want to reach the battle arena? Furthermore, if her intention was to contract a peace with the warring factions of the Muslim community then why did she need an iron camel litter? The story of Aisha’s iron camel litter has also been narrated by numerous other Ahl Sunnat Ulema; among them is Gortabeh Daynawary he writes the following in “ Al Imamat Wal Seeyasat”, فلما أتى عائشة خبر أهل الشام أنهم ردوا بيعة على وأبوا أن يبايعوه أمرت فعمل لها هودج من .حديد وجعل فيه موضع عينيها ثم خرجت ومعها الزبير وطلحة وعبد هللا بن الزبير ومحمد بن طلحة
“When the news reached Aisha that the people of Damascus had rejected the allegiance with Ali (A.S.) she ordered them to make a camel litter out of iron and that a place for her two eyes to peer out should be taken into consideration when making the litter. She then left while being accompanied by Taleh, Zoyber, Abdullah Zeer, and Muhammad ibn Taleh.” خليل: تحقيق،38 ص،1 ج، اإلمامة والسياسة،)هـ116 ابومحمد عبد هللا بن مسلم ابن قتيبة (متوفاى،الدينوري .م1991 - هـ1318 - بيروت- دار الكتب العلمية: ناشر،المنصور Al Denavari, Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Muslim ibn Gortabi (died 276H), Al Imamat Wal Seeyasat, Vol. 1 page 48, research: Khalil Al Mansour, Publisher: Darol Ketab Al Alemeh – Beirut – 1418H – 1997M.
Shahob Aldeen Alousie writes in his credible commentary “Rouh Al Ma’anie”, وكان معها إبن أختها عبدهللا بن الزبير وغيره من أبناء أخواتها أم كلثوم زوج طلحة وأسماء زوج الزبير .بل كل من معها بمنزلة األبناء فى المحرمية وكانت فى هودج من حديد
“The nephew of Aisha, Abdullah ibn Zoyber and the other children of her sister like Umm Kultham the wife of Talah, and Asma the wife of Zoyber were with her; nonetheless they were like Aisha’s children with regard to their deprivation. Aisha was then placed in an iron camel litter.”

Doesn’t this narration show that Aisha’s intention to create reconciliation among the members in the Islamic community was instead to fan the flames of rebellion? Rather from day one she also had the intention to fight with Amiral Mo’mineen (A.S.) and stage a rebellion against the Islamic government; moreover, if this was not her intention then why was it necessary for her to have a camel litter made of iron and enter the battlefield. Another tradition the Ahl Sunnat Ulema write that is narrated by Hazifeh in which Hazifeh years before was given the news of the “Battle of Jamel”, Aisha’s movement, and her plans of war alongside his children. When people heard this tradition they were severely shaken and they could bring themselves to believe in the matter. ،ج ْع َف ٍر ِ َّ ثَ َنا َع ْب ُد الل،الرقِّى ِ ثَ َنا، َم َدان ْ َأ َ ن َ م َدانَ ا ْل َ ن َ ح ْ الب بِ َه ْ ح ْ الر ُ ه ْب ُ ل ْب ُ هال ُ ج ُ ن ْب َّ ن ا ْل َعال ِء َّ خ َب َرنِى َع ْب ُد ِ م " ُك َّنا:ل َ م ِ ن َع ْب ِ ن َز ْي ِ َّ ثَ َنا ُعبَ ْي ُد الل َ ن َ ن َ َقا،ن َ ح َ خ ْي َث َ ن أَبِى أُنَ ْي ْ الر ْ َع،َن ُم َّرة ْ ع ْ َع،َسة ْ َع،مرٍو ْ ن َع ُ ه ْب َّ د ِ م ِ ة ْب ِ مرِو ْب ِ د ْب ه ِ ِه َوآَل ِ صل َّى الل َّ ُه َعلَ ْي ِ َّ ل الل ِ سو ِ س ِ َّ د ْث َنا َيا أَ َبا َع ْب ِد الل ِ ح َذ ْي َف َة َر ِ َ م ْع ُ ل َب ْع َ ه َ ه َما َ :ض َنا َ َفقَا،ضى الل َّ ُه َع ْن ُه ْ ت ِم ِّ ح ُ ن َر ُ ع ْن َد

“It is narrated from Khaythameh ibn Abdar Rahman that we were with Haziefeh and some of us say the following, ‘Narrate for us a tradition that you have heard from the Messenger of God.’ Haziefeh then said, ‘If I tell you the tradition that I heard from the Messenger of God (S) you will stone me.’ We said, ‘Glorified be God! We would we do such a thing?!’ Haziefeh then said,‘ Will you believe me if I tell you that one of your mothers is coming towards you with an army that has numerous soldiers and great strength?’ They said, ‘Glorified be God! Who would believe this?’ Haziefeh then said, ‘Well, your mother Hamiyareh will come towards you so that the unbelievers are driven ahead in such a way that it makes your face fill with worry.’” Hakim Neshboury says after narrating this tradition, .جا ُه ط ِ ش ْر ِ ص ٌ ح ِد َ الش ْي َ ْ م ُي َ ِخر َ ح َعلَى َ يث َ هذَا ْ َ َول،ن ٌ حي َّ ِ خ ْي

Really will such an event take place?’ He said, ‘I swear by the one who rightly chose Muhammad that this incident will eventually happen.’ Some of his companions said, ‘O Aba Abdullah! What is our responsibility when such an event like this really takes place?’ He said in reply, ‘your responsibility is to accompany the group of people whom Ali (A.S.) commands and invites and there is no doubt that it is the path of guidance which is the same path of Ali (A.S.) and Ali (A.S.)’s helpers.’” : تحقيق،1814 ح،146 ص،1 ج،) البحر الزخار (مسند البزار،) هـ191 ابوبكر أحمد بن عمرو بن عبد الخالق (متوفاى،البزار . هـ1349 ، األولى: المدينة الطبعة، بيروت- مكتبة العلوم والحكم، مؤسسة علوم القرآن: ناشر، محفوظ الرحمن زين هللا.د Al Bazar, Abu Bakr Ahmad ibn Amrou ibn Abd al Khaliq (died 292H), Al Baharal Zakhar (Mosnad Al Bazar), Vol. 7, page 236, 2810ح, research: D.

These traditions altogether are an indicator of the invalidity of Aisha and her soldiers. In addition the sin of all this killing and the igniting of the flames of the war of Jamal lie on the necks of Aisha, Talha, and Zoyber.
On The Avoidance of Having a War Between Amiral Mo’mineen (A.S.) and Talha and Zoyber: Another tradition which is also narrated from the Ahl Sunnat sources say that years before the Messenger of God (S) told about the Battle of Jamal and said to Zoyber ibn Awameh to avoid having a war with Amiral Mo’mineen (A.S.) and he has even called him an oppressor. ن اس َع ْب ُد الل َّ ِ ن ا ْلقَا ِ خ َب َرنَا أَ ُبو َ ن َمطَرٍ ،أَ ْ ضى ،أَ ْ أَ ْ ح َ ن ا ْل َ ح َ ع ْ خ َب َرنَا أَ ُبو َبك ٍْر أَ ْ ه ْب ُ م ِرو ْب ُ م ُد ْب ُ خ َب َرنَا أَ ُبو ا ْل َعبَّ ِ س ِ ح َّدثَ َنا أَبِى، ح َّدثَ َنا َع ْب ُد الل َّ ِ ش ِ ار ا ْل َها ِ م ِ لَ : جلَحَِ ،قا َ حارِثَِ ، ن ا ْل َ ح َّدثَ َنا ِم ْن َ مى ا ْلكُوفِىَ ، ن َ ُم َ ن األ َ ْ ح َّ ه ْب ُ اب ْب ُ ج ُ د ْب ِ س َّو ٍ ن ت ا ْل َف ْ ح ْر ِ س ِ د ُ ن أَبِى َ ن َفضَالَةَُ ،ي َ ل ْب َ ض َ ابَ :و َ ل ِم ْن َ يرَ ،و َقا َ س َو ِد ال ُّد َؤلِىَ ،ع ْ ن األ َ ْ َع ْ م ْع ُ ح ِّ ج ُ ب ْب ِ ث أَبِىَ ،ع ِ ن َي ِزي َد ا ْل َف ِق ِ ص ُفوفُ ح َة َوال ُّزبَ ْي ِرَ ،و َدنَتِ ال ُّ ح ِب ِ صا ِ ح ِد ِ أَبِي ِ ح ِد ُ هَ ،د َ ن طَ ْل َ ص َ هَ ،قا َ ح ِديثِ َ ما فِى َ ه َ يث أَ َ ل َ خ َ حا ُب ُه ِم ْ ما َدنَا َعلِى َوأَ ْ ل :لَ َّ ن ا ْل َع َّوا ِمَ ،فإِنِ ّى َعلِى، ل الل َّ ِ سو ِ ه َو َعلَى بَ ْغلَ ِ خ َر َ ن بَ ْعضٍَ ، بَ ْع ُ ه (ص) َف َنا َدى :ا ْد ُعوا لِى ال ُّزبَ ْي َر ْب َ ض َها ِم ْ ج َعلِى َو ُ ة َر ُ ك ك بِالل َّ ِ َف ُد ِ اخ َتلَ َف ْ ح َّتى ْ م َم َّر بِ َ ه أَتَذْ ك ُُر َي ْو َ ش ْدتُ َ ل َعلِيٌَّ :يا ُز َب ْي ُر ،نَ َ ماَ ،فقَا َ ت أَ ْع َناقُ َد َوابِ ّ ِه َ ل َ عى لَ ُه ال ُّز َب ْي ُرَ ،فأَ ْقبَ َ ن ن فِى َم َكا ِ ل الل َّ ِ ن َ خالِى َوا ْب َ ت :أَال ُأحِبُّ ا ْب َ ن َكذَا َو َكذَا؟َ ،فقَا َ ه (ص) َونَ ْ ل :يَا ُزبَ ْي ُر " ،تُحِبُّ َعلِيًّ ّا؟ "َ ،ف ُق ْل ُ ح ُ سو ُ َر ُ متِى َو َعلَى ِدينِى، ل الل َّ ِ ل :يَا َعلِى " ،أَتُ ِ َع ِ ه ،أَال ُأحِبُّ ا ْب َ سو َ مّى َو َعلَى ِدينِىَ ،فقَا َ ن َع َّ حبُّ ُه؟ "َ ،ف ُق ْل ُ ت :يَا َر ُ ل سو ِ ن َق ْو ِ س ِ ه لَق َْد ن َ ِ لَ :بلَىَ ،والل َّ ِ لَ :يا ُز َب ْي ُر " ،أَ َما َوالل َّ ِ ه لَ ُتقَاتِلَ َّن ُه َوأَ ْن َ سي ُت ُه ُم ْن ُذ َ م "َ ،قا َ َفقَا َ م ْع ُت ُه ِم ْ ت لَ ُه ظَالِ ٌ ل َر ُ ص ُف َ ن شقُّ ال ُّ ض لَ ُه ا ْب ُن ُه َع ْب ُد الل َّ ِ ع ال ُّزبَ ْي ُر َعلَى َدابَّتِ ِ م َذ َك ْرتُ ُه اآلنَ َ ،والل َّ ِ الل َّ ِ ج َ وفَ ،ف َع َر َ كَ ،ف َر َ ه ال ُأ َقاتِلُ َ ه (ص) ثُ َّ ه ْب ُ ه يَ ُ ت لَ ُه س ِ ل الل َّ ِ سو ِ س ِ ل :لَ ُتقَاتِلَ َّن ُه َوأَ ْن َ ه (ص) َ ح ِدي ًّثا َ لَ :ذ َّك َرنِى َع ِلى َ ك؟َ ،فقَا َ لَ :ما ل َ َ ال ُّز َب ْي ِرَ ،فقَا َ م ْع ُت ُه ِم ْ م ْع ُت ُه َي ُقو ُ ن َر ُ ت أَال ن ال َّن ما ِ ل ِ لَ :ولِ ْل ِق َتا ِ ح الل َّ ُه َ جئ َ جئ َ لَ :ق ْد َ هذَا األ َ ْم َرَ ،قا َ ح بَ ْي َ ْت؟ إِن َّ َ مَ ،فال ُأ َقاتِلُ ُهَ ،قا َ اس َو ُي ْ ْت تُ ْ حلَ ْف ُ صلِ ُ صلِ ُ ظَالِ ٌ ِ ج ْر ِ ك ِ اخ َتلَ َ ق ُغال َم ُهَ ،و َو َق َ ن ال َّناسَِ ،فأَ ْع َت َ صلُ َ ما ْ س َوقِ ْ لَ :فأَ ْعتِ ْ ح بَ ْي َ ف َ ج َ ق ُغال َم َ ُأ َقاتِلَ ُهَ ،قا َ ح َّتى ت َ ْ ف َفلَ َّ ف أَ ْم ُر ال َّناسِ ه. س ِ ب َعلَى َف َر ِ َذ َ ه َ
)“It is narrated from Abul Aswad Da’lee that when his eminence Ali (A.S. and his comrades drew near to Talha and Zoyber and the battle lines were wellarranged; while mounted on the Messenger of God’s Mule Ali (A.S.) cried out, ‘Zoyber, tell about my presence.’ When Zoyber arrived Ali (A.S.) said, ‘O Zoyber I give an oath by God to you, do you recall that day when me and you were at such and such a place and the Messenger of God (S) passed us while he addressed you saying,
‘O Zoyber! Do you like Ali (A.S.)?’ You replied by saying, ‘How is it possible that I do not like my next of kin who is my material cousin and paternal cousin?’ Then he said to me, ‘O Ali! Do you like him?’ I exclaimed, ‘How is it possible that I do not like my own next of kin and my paternal cousin?’ He then addressed you saying, ‘O Zoyber! I here swear to God it is so incredible because you will fight with him while oppressing him!’ Zoyber then said, ‘Yes, I swear to God! I forgot that I had heard that tradition from the Messenger of God (S) and now I have just recalled it. I swear to God! I won’t fight you.’ Speaking these words he changed his mind concerning the decision he had made and he went back. His son Abdullah then said, ‘Why have you turned away from you initial decision?’ Zoyber said, ‘Ali (A.S.) reminded me of a tradition that I had heard from the Messenger of God (S) in which he said’, ‘you will do battle with Ali (A.S.) while you are oppressing him.’ So I now relinquish fighting with him.’ His son then said to him, ‘did you come to fight and put up a resistance?! (No, rather) you came to arrange a compromise between the people, (you imagine that) God will also help you and that an agreement can be concluded between the people.’ Zoyber then exclaims by saying, ‘I remember that I swore I would not fight against Ali (A.S.)! Abdullah then proposed, ‘(for the expiation of your oath) free your slave boy Jarjees and show a little bit of a delay in making an agreement for a compromise between the people.’ Zoyber agreed to his son’s proposal by showing restraint and freeing his slave boy. Furthermore, at the time that he came face to face with the people’s conflict he rode off on his horse.” . طبق برنامه الجامع الكبير،311 ص،6 ج، دالئل النبوة،)هـ318 أبي بكر أحمد بن الحسين بن علي (متوفاى،البيهقي Al Behaqqi, Abi Bakr Ahmad ibn Al Husain ibn Ali (died 458H), Dala’il Al Nabawat Vol. 6, page 415, Tebga barnameh Al Jama’a Al Kabir.
